The laws governing such backdating practices were murky,
針對這類日期倒簽行為的法律模糊不清，
especially since no one at Apple ended up benefiting from the dubiously dated grants.
特別是，蘋果公司最終并沒有一個(gè)人從這種有疑問的期權(quán)政策中獲益。
The SEC took eight months to do its own investigation, and in April 2007 it announced that it would not bring action against Apple
證券交易委員會(huì)用了8個(gè)月的時(shí)間完成了調(diào)查，并于2007年4月宣布不會(huì)對蘋果采取行動(dòng)，
"based in part on its swift, extensive, and extraordinary cooperation in the Commission's investigation (and its) prompt self-reporting."
這“部分是基于公司對委員會(huì)調(diào)查工作迅捷、全面、出色的配合以及（它）及時(shí)的主動(dòng)匯報(bào)。”
Although the SEC found that Jobs had been aware of the backdating,
盡管證券交易委員會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)喬布斯對日期倒簽行為確實(shí)知情，
it cleared him of any misconduct because he "was unaware of the accounting implications."
但撇清了他有任何不當(dāng)行為的嫌疑，因?yàn)樗皩?huì)計(jì)上的影響并不知情”。
The SEC did file complaints against Apple's former chief financial officer Fred Anderson, who was on the board,
但證券交易委員會(huì)控告了當(dāng)時(shí)擔(dān)任董事的前首席財(cái)務(wù)官弗雷德·安德森，
and general counsel Nancy Heinen.
以及公司法律顧問南希·海寧。
Anderson, a retired Air Force captain with a square jaw and deep integrity,
退役空軍上尉安德森長著一個(gè)方方的下巴，為人極度正直，
had been a wise and calming influence at Apple, where he was known for his ability to control Jobs's tantrums.
曾以他的機(jī)智與平和對公司施加重要影響，以擅長控制喬布斯的臭脾氣而聞名。
He was cited by the SEC only for "negligence" regarding the paperwork for one set of the grants (not the ones that went to Jobs),
證券交易委員會(huì)僅控之以“疏忽”責(zé)任，無非涉及某些期權(quán)政策（不是給喬布斯的那些）中的文書工作，
and the SEC allowed him to continue to serve on corporate boards.
而且允許他繼續(xù)出任企業(yè)的董事。
Nevertheless he ended up resigning from the Apple board.
但是，他最終辭去了蘋果董事一職。
